We should add a 2-cent tax to every ounce of alcohol, then use it to provide free cab fare so people at bars or parties get home safely and avoid driving under the influence.

The Russian president vows to annihilate terrorists. If they can do that, why can’t our police stop all the robberies, shootings and muggings in Wichita?

More bull hockey from Kris Kobach (Jan. 2 Opinion). If there were a way to prevent all Democrats from voting, he would do it.

If Jane Doe becomes Jane Doe Smith by marriage, does she need a marriage license in addition to a birth certificate to register to vote?

Phil Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” advised men to marry 15- or 16-year-old girls. Are all the people defending his anti-gay comments OK with this also?

Robertson is a shallow, ignorant ephebophile. He needs to spend more time learning to treat his fellow man with respect and less time telling people to break federal laws meant to protect children.

Tolerance of majority lifestyles does not require that I surrender mine, and it sure doesn’t mean that I am required to affirmatively advance or champion something that is against my values.
